Several years ago, James Birchard, Of
Darien, Conn, was severely ill. The
doctors said he was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced well man. His health
remains good to the present day.

MILK MANIPULATION.
Methods of Cooling and Scalding Prac
ticed by French Dairymen.

ticed by French Dairymen.
The milk supply for large cities and
towns is never satisfactory unless the
producers cool the milk as soon as
possible after it is drawn. To have the
best milk or butter the animal heat
must be gotten out of the milk speedily,
and with it the peculiar animal OdOr
which accompanies new milk.
This is accomplished by setting the
can in ice water or in the coolest spring
water attainable. On the same prin-
ciple are the various STYLES of creamerS,
which, with constant supply of ice
water during warm weather, accom-
plish the object desired.
Bearing upon this subject, the Vir-
ginia Commissioner of Agriculture has
recently published some facts relating
to the process of scalded milk as made
use of by the milk dealers of Paris,
France Contrivances for this purpose
have been carried to high perfection in
France, and their management is
worthy the consideration of our own
milkmen.
The cooling process, effected as soon
as possible after milking. is indiSpensa-
able first of all, and then as further
safeguard the milk is scalded. The
spelling or decomposition of milk is
due to certain living organisms which
constitute ferments in the liquid, and
the operation Of scalding is designed to
paralyze the evolution of these organ
isms, and thus to prevent the alteration
due to their action.
The mornings milk having to remain
about twelve hours in the milk room
before being mixed with that OF the
evening, the French milkmen subject
it to a double operation, which consists
first. in placing it fora short time in
hot water baths in such manner as to
carry the temperature to about 2O7 de-
grees. Second, to cool it Immediately
afterward as fast as possible. and to
keep it at low temperature.
There are various sorts of apparatus
in use in carrying out the object, but it
can be done simply and chesp.y any
where. At least the scalding process
is easy. All that is necessary is to
have a large boiler in which water is
heated, and trough placed so that
boiling water can be let in through =
faucet. The cans of milk are placed in
the trough and the hot water allowed
to flow around them. OF course the
temperature of the water will be re-
duced somewhat by the cool metal and
milk, but the effort should be to heat
the milk to little below boiling point
say 200 degrees to 207 degrees. 1t
should remain here but few minutes
and then be cooled down as quickly as
possible.-M Y Herald.

SPOOLS FOR THREAD
The Wood and Machinery Employed in
Their Manufacture.

The Wood and Machinery Employed in
Their Manufacture.
Birch wood is preferred. The birch
is first sawed into sticks four or five
feet long and seven-eighths of an inch
to three inches square, according to
the size of the spool to be produced.
These sticks are thoroughly seasoned.
They are sawed into short blocks, and
the blocks are dried in hot-air kiln
At the time they are sawed a hole is
bored through them. One whirl of the
little block against sharp knives, shaped
by pattern, makes the spools at the
rate of one second.
A small boy feeds the spool machine,
simply placing the blocks in spout.
and throwing out the knotty or defect
i've stock. The machine is automatic,
but can not do the sorting. The spools
are revolved rapidly in drums, and
polish themselves. For some purposes
they are dyed yellow. red or black
They are made in hundreds of shapes
and sizes.
When one sees on spool of thread
"one hundred yards or 1.-TWO hundred
yards these words do not signify that
the thread has been measured, but that
the spool has been gagged, and is sup
posed TO contain so much thread
When a silk or linen or a cotton firm
wants spool made. it sends pattern
to a spool-maker. This pattern gives
the size and shape of the barrel, and OF
the head and bevel. These patterns
determine the amount of thread that
the spool viii hold.-G0EdsH Days.

"you know the way of maidens. Does
she like you?''

The missionary then tells her his
name-although she knows it as well
as he does-and launches out into the
lovers praise. He is strong, good
looking. kindly; he caught two fine
whales when his companions took none,

pute. After the catalogue ofhis merits
has been recited, the girl replies:

Creatures on the Farm.

How to Make Them the Most Profitable
Creatures on the Farm.
A young pig will produce more live
weight from given weight of food
adapted to its use than any other
domestic quadruped. and consequently
he is a profitable creature to have on the
farm. To be sure. MS meat is not al
ways as highly valued as the flesh OF
sheep and cattle, but it is more uniform
in quality, and averages well with the
flesh of other animals. He will live on
choice food or garbage, as occasion may
require, and will thrive on food that no
other animal could use with safety. He
will live and flourish under Universities
to which other animals would succumb,
while he will respond more promptly
and efficiently to good and generous
treatment than any other tenant Of the
farm. On account of his ability to stand
abuse. he is pretty apt to get more than
his share of it, and to be neglected, but
it paws to look after his comfort and
study his necessities. 1t does not follow
because he can live and thrive on what
other animals can not, that there Is nc
necessity for being particular about
what he shall eat or how be shall fare

Gently died. prided himself on the pos
session of diamond breastpin which
was given to him by the Emperor Fran

More than twenty years ago Herr Fisch-
hof befriended poor young student
who. unable to earn a living in Vienna,
finally emigrated to California through
Herr Fischhofs assistance. The latter
had long forgotten his protege, when
suddenly he received from an American
who visited Vienna large nugget .of
gold which the former student and now
rich merchant of California had sent 20
his benefactor. The director of the I'm
perial Neurological Cabinet Of Vienna,
who heard of the affair, offered Herr
Fischhof large amount for the mug
get, which weighed twelve pounds and
was considered one of the most valua-
BILE in existence, but he decliaed the
offer, remarking, however, that he
would gladly present it TO the cabinet
if the Emperor would consent to accept
it. His donation was graciously &C
cepted and the Emperor presented him
in turn with precious diamond pin.
The nugget remains one of the most in-
